Lessons Learned
 Learning Kusto Query Language is well invested
 Deciding what to put on the dashboard is the hardest part
 Once you have it in Metrics / Logs everything else is easy
 Enable Diagnostic Logs where possible
 Automate everything (and separate data from logic)
 Beware: monitorability might be dependent on pricing tier
 Dashboard annoyances (colors, widgets, timechooser)
 Azure (Premier) Support...
